Let us examine the Scriptures every day 2024

Jueves March 21, 2024

I saw the Cordero, and with 144,000 (Apoc. 14:1).

Those who govern the Kingdom of God will be responsible for thousands of millions of people across the planet. Equal to Jesus, 144,000 will be kings and priests (Apoc. 5:10). Under the Mosaic Law, the main responsibility of the priests was to protect the physical and spiritual health of the pueblo. As the Law had “a shadow of good things to come”, it is logical to think that those who will govern with Jesus will perform a special function: attending to the physical and spiritual health of the city of God (Heb. 10:1). Of course, we still don't know how these kings and priests will communicate with the citizens of the Kingdom who are here in La Tierra. We can be sure that those who live in Paradise will have the guidance they need (Rev. 21:3, 4). w22.12 11 pars. 11-13.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE “OTHER OVEJAS” TO BE ABLE TO LIVE IN PARADISE?

What is the relationship between the “other sheep” and the “small herd”?

Jesus called “a small herd” the group of people who will govern with him (Luke 12:32). And he also spoke of a second group, where he called them “other eggs”. These groups form a single herd (Juan 10:16). You work in the unit, and you will continue doing it when Tierra is a paradise. For this moment, the “small herd” will be in the sky, and the “other sheep” will have the hope of living forever in the Tierra. But there are certain things that “other ears” have to do in order to live in Paradise.

How do we support “the other sheep” of Christ’s brothers? and How can you follow the example of your brother that you see in the photograph?

The repentant offender doesn't have the opportunity to show how grateful he is for what Jesus did for him. However, among those “other sheep” we have many opportunities to do so. For example, we demonstrate that we love Jesus by the way we treat His anointed brothers. Jesus said that this would serve as a basis for determining who is sheep (Matt. 25:31-40). One way to support the brothers of Christ is to participate enthusiastically in the work of preaching and making disciples (Matt. 28:18-20). Therefore, we want to use the Bible study tools that they give us, as the book Enjoy life. If you are still not giving Bible classes to Nadie, why not set the goal of offering a Bible course to everyone who can?

What can we do now to prepare ourselves to live in Paradise?

It is not necessary to wait to live in Paradise to convert us into the class of people that Jehovah wants to have there. From here we can strive to be honored in what we decide and do, and to lead a balanced life. And we must also be loyal to Jehovah, our husband or wife and our brothers. If now that we live in this evil world, we do everything possible to obey God's norms, the easier it will be for us to achieve it in Paradise. Furthermore, we can develop skills and qualities to demonstrate that we are preparing to live there, like those mentioned in the article “Are you ready to 'herit the land'?” of this magazine.

Why shouldn't we let the guilt for our past sins devastate us?

We must also strive to stop feeling guilty for serious sins committed. Of course, we do not want to see redemption as an excuse for committing “sin by purpose” (Heb. 10:26-31). However, if we are truly sorry for a serious sin, we seek help from Jehovah and our elders, and we change, we can be sure that he has generously forgiven us (Is. 55:7; Hech. 3:19). Let us remember what Jesus said to the Pharisees: “He does not call the righteous, but sinners” (Matt. 9:13). Therefore, all our sins can be forgiven with grace.
